Blu on Farrington

Really love living at Blu on Farrington. Great value for money if you can get a floorpan you like. The pool and gym are top notch. In fact, the gym was just remodeled and has everything from squat racks to a studio area. Parking is easy, even for guests. Management has been very attentive to any maintenance issues.

2024 will be my second year at Blu on Farrington. I am impressed with renovated gym. Their gym was lacking before for the size of the community, but they have corrected that, My apartment has a nice entry leading into the living space. Bedrooms fit a full size bed comfortably. Bathrooms are a great size with a narrow linen closet. I have an island in the kitchen.

Overall, my experience has been good! We have had a few problems with the leasing office and I can hear my upstairs neighbor a lot, but overall, I am pleased with the space.

Fantastic building, great pool, really love the open floor plans, and new kitchen appliances.

Also give a nice first month's rent discount for UNC Students.

Great apartment and very safe. A little pricey for what you're getting, but updated and good management.

The apartment is nice but not very spacious for $1,650 a month. Management is wonderful and plans many great events for the complex. The gym is small but usable. The pool area is very nice. It is not located close to Franklin St. so the social aspect is lacking but that's not a huge deal with Uber/Lyft. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Really nice apartment with great amenities. Parking is easy and the gym works. Haven’t had any issues with management. Maintenance is responsive when called upon. Community events once or twice a month are also nice. The pool area is great. Love the location. About 15min drive to campus with traffic.

I love living here! The apartment layout is spacious and functional with lots of storage. The unit is also well updated - it was freshly painted when we moved in, and has stainless steel kitchen appliances, granite countertops, and huge garden tubs in the bathrooms. The many windows in the open floorplan let lots of light into the common areas. Aside from an occasional spider, we haven't had any pest issues.

We haven't had any maintenance issues other than asking some questions about the air filter, and they came promptly and explained everything in detail and changed the filter out early for us. The front office staff are friendly and always hosting events for residents. The clubhouse is great - I love going in there to read or for free coffee. And the pool is nice even though it's not open year round. The property grounds are kept beautiful as well. Rules are enforced, so all the neighbors are respectful and I haven't had any issues like pet waste not being picked up or loud neighbors. This has been the best apartment I've lived in by far.

The only negative would be the neighborhood. Although you're conveniently located a short drive from Southpoint and Chapel Hill, the complex isn't right next to much. There's one shopping center with some restaurants and a couple gas stations at the end of the block, but everything else is 5-10 minutes away. Not a big deal, but just something to be aware of ahead of time. There is also construction next door (a new apartment complex is going up) but there hasn't been much noise or traffic disruption, so it's been fine so far.

Very pet friendly and quick to respond to service requests! On the expensive side but feels very safe. Apartment feels roomy and the community has plenty of parking spots and good management.

Great complex with an awesome pool and recreational area. Very safe area.
